Gabi
What it means to cry,
within a screaming gale,
no use trying to hide,
in your bones,
no need for a cradle,
to find yourself alone,
studying a time,
when all your measures fail,
resurrecting that style,
how can you atone,
when love forever pales,
far away from home,
flip a coin see the sky,
talk of finding sail,
you always leave this way,
drink wine from coffee cones,
ditch desolate mail,
pillory those friendly ghosts,
shout no worse than jail,
forsake your lovely smile,
caress the stony trail,
laugh at passing miles.

I dream of her class,
silken not shorn,
sweet lineage of her clasp,
golden unsought
struggling to be born,
I stand here forlorn,
waiting in the traps,
struggling on thorns,
a modern day iconoclast,
what cant be bought,
shivering if torn ,
gets thrown overboard,
what you say overlaps,
with the fact I’m gone,
hidden under Burlap,
sitting there aghast,
how to break the corn,
someone says I'm mad,
wait for the next dance,
will she ever be caught,
brings me to this pass,
barely to nought.

Can you bring serenity,
to this creature in a jar,
rescued by the sea,
like someone in a grave,
bears a different mark,
something you can't name,
one who sets you free,
like a bell from afar,
away from childhood screams,
maybe it's a different age,
we drive around in cars,
but I still feel strange,
nothing fills my need,
except a salty bog,
somewhere I can dream,
dance along the waves,
sail wrapped around a spar,
ditch all the wreckage,
are you listening Ma?

Clouds furl around the sky,
death brings no easy due,
even when we die,
who cares what’s at stake,
it always turns for you,
burning coal in the grate,
something deep inside,
sets ablaze no ordinary cue,
even when you deny,
the barriers we make,
not to look like fools,
tides see us swept away,
however hard we try,
love is not immune,
explore it one more time,
lying if we castigate,
something inside the blue,
you can never walk away,
when we’ve had a few.

Can't get around the news,
that you’ve slipped away,
dollars tell the truth,
you stepped off the Metro,
finished up your day,
left us on the stones,
I haven't got a clue,
what in heaven's name,
we’re going to do,
everything the kids call home,
doesn’t seem the same,
dogs are well rid of you,
I sing hopeless tunes,
trapped within their gaze,
everything turns blue,
you just went for broke,
as if it was some game,
who will pay the loans,
If I’m a bitter fruit,
I’ll set it on your plate,
now that we’re going,
to cross an Ocean again.

She has some spark,
her lovely face lights,
early as the lark,
she hankers for love,
most of her nights,
doesn’t worry what's above,
in a supermarket car park,
they ask her why,
she hangs around the bars,
says we all need a crust,
black suits her fine,
she doesn’t drink doubles,
never walks far,
to gossip is no crime,
each step another war,
works without gloves,
remembers her lines,
Okay, when it's good,
but never needs a chart,
to know what's right,
she’ll give it some thought,
maybe next time.

Since you've gone away,
I don't know what to do,
but each night pray,
laugh at the hurricane zones,
see your face in whirlpools,
where you now call home,
ashamed of the days
when hurt surrounds you,
wondering if there’s anyway,
you’d give me a loan,
even when I blew,
gardens need to grow,
my hair is turning grey,
they say I’m a pheromone,
always floating on the make,
don’t want to be alone,
denying what is true,
forget the rolling stone,
your eyes are like jade,
I’ll bust any curfew,
to search for our remains,
on sunny afternoons.
